Very good

No photo

Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart.

A two-column paper rhythm; publication and research lists flow evenly. Details run in a single column at the top with the body flowing into two. It is a dense layout built for publication and research lists, and it feels familiar to academic reviewers because it mirrors how a paper is read.

Layout

How the Teaching Panel template is built

Knowing how information sits on the page before you pick a template directly affects how your application gets read.

Academic paper layout

Details run in a single column at the top with the body flowing into two. It is a dense layout built for publication and research lists, and it feels familiar to academic reviewers because it mirrors how a paper is read.

Typography

Body and headings share one sans-serif family, reading equally cleanly on screen and in print.

Section headings

A coloured vertical bar sits to the left of each section heading, so sections are found quickly from the edge of the page.

Use of colour

Colour appears only in fine rules and headings; the rest of the page stays white.

Density

Line spacing is balanced — the middle ground between readability and fit for most applications.

How skills are presented

Skills are grouped as technical, tools and soft, so an employer finds the category they are looking for directly.

When not to choose this template

  • Applications where a visual portfolio is expected in the document itself
  • Applications where the employer mandates its own template
  • Very long career histories running past three pages

You can compare the alternatives side by side in the template comparison table.

Frequently asked questions

About the Teaching Panel template

Is the Teaching Panel template ATS-friendly?

ATS compatibility for this template is rated “very good”. Although the page divides into several areas, the sections are built with flex rather than tables and the text layer stays linear, so common parsers take the information in the right order.

Does the Teaching Panel template include a photo?

There is no photo area; the header stays pure text, so parsers read the name and contact lines without breaking them apart. If you are applying to employers who expect a photo, pick one of the templates that carries it as part of the design.

Can I change template later?

Yes. The template is only a presentation layer; what you write is stored separately and carries over intact when you switch.

Will the PDF match this preview?

Yes. The preview and the PDF come from the same component: A4 (210×297 mm), accented characters and a selectable text layer are all preserved.

Can I change the colour in the Teaching Panel template?

Yes. The accent colour control in the editor applies to this template too — pick any of the six presets.
